Lim Tze Peng's works are bold yet harmonious, full of contrasts but never imbalanced. In Filial Piety, Lim Tze Peng pays careful attention to each stroke in this piece, reflecting the essence of the word and the value of filial piety. The gold background, while a traditionally lucky colour in Chinese culture, is unorthodox in Chinese calligraphy pieces. Lim Tze Peng draws on his uniquely Singaporean perspective, enveloping the background surrounding the characters with a magnificent wash of gold, prevailing mostly in Western art.
